Package: Compress

Description

package Zip.Compress is
Zip.Compress ------------- Created 9-Dec-2007 This package facilitates the storage or compression of data. Note that unlike decompression where the decoding is unique, there are an undefinite number of ways of compressing data into formats which include compression structures, like Deflate. As a result, you may want to use your own way (e.g. interfacing with zlib). This package is only a portable one, and doesn't claim to be the best or the fastest
